Mother of Compilers

In this week entry, I'll talk about an important woman in the computing science world, her name is Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Brewster Murray Hopper (a.k.a Amazing Grace), she was a game changer in the computer science department of investigation, this because she's one of the first computer programmers in history! And second because she's considered as the title of the reading is called, “The mother of compilers” because she built the first compiler ever which was a great achievement for us computer programmers.

Another great achievement by Dr. Grace is the idea behind using if/else statements having a basis into the English language, everything she made is an achievement and well if we think of the industry where she belonged, military and computer science, one can only imagine the difficulties that she faced into trying to fulfill her dreams and goals, first of all because both industries were ruled by men and as all we know racism and the idea that men are better, you could even say that she paved the way for women to work in this industries, perhaps many girls see her as an example that you can triumph and make history and there is no doubt in my mind that in the technology industry there are many women working and studying thanks to her work,

This reading was great and perhaps more meaningful for a woman, but nonetheless, I really enjoyed reading about a great woman in history that changed the history of technology.
